I bet you would not consider them as innocent as your friend.

Why would you assume this?

Beyond which, to hate the U.S. military for their crimes one must hate the Russian military for theirs — lest they make themselves out to be a hypocrite. I don't care if you want to call out the U.S. military, do not act like the Russians are guiltless or somehow deserving of compassion. I will feel no more compassion for them than I will U.S. soldiers in the event of an invasion of Canada or Greenland.

I never acted as if the Russians are guiltless for invading Ukraine, it's you that's acting as if Americans are guiltless for invading Iraq. That said both peoples are still human.

Care to explain why you disregard the invasion of Iraq that's already happened and focus on a hypothetical invasion of Canada or Greenland?
